Researchers and data analysts at Ford Motor Company have developed a new tool to help buyers build a better fleet. The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner™ offers guidance in choosing from Ford's vehicle lineup, while helping to manage cost and informing buyers how their choices will aid in reducing their company's carbon footprint.
"The one-size-fits-all approach is outdated," said John Ginder, manager of systems analytics and environmental sciences, Ford research and advanced engineering. "Given what can now be done with analytics, customers shouldn't settle for buying one vehicle for an entire fleet based on factors such as projected use or miles per gallon."
Using the planner, customers build a fleet of Ford vehicles. Factoring in environmental concerns, individual driving habits of employees and terrain traveled, the planner then calculates the fleet's environmental impact and cost. Buyers are able to change the lineup until the mix meets their goals.
"This level of individualized customer service is exactly why we continue to invest in analytics and big data," said Ginder.
Already, the patent-pending tool has helped KONE, a leader in elevator and escalator manufacturing, commit to replacing its fleet of 160 Ford Fusion cars with the new Fusion Hybrid by 2018. The move is expected to result in a reduction in KONE's carbon emissions by 850 metric tons a year while saving the company money.
"We are proud to continue to do our part to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help provide our employees with a safe, reliable vehicle to travel to site locations," said Adam Judd, KONE sourcing director, Americas.
In recent years, Ford has expanded its hybrid and EV vehicle offerings to include the C-Max, Focus Electric, Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi. With all of the options available from Ford, the company recognized the potential for confusion, which prompted development of the new tool.
The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner is the result of Ford's commitment to data and analytics. The unique tool was among three finalists for the 2014 Innovative Applications in Analytics Award by INFORMS, the largest association for professionals in analytics. A year prior, Ford won the 2013 INFORMS Prize, which acknowledges a company's overall achievement in analytics.
The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner is available only to companies maintaining fleet vehicles.

Prestigious Nursing Academy to Induct 168 Nurse LeadersThe American Academy of Nursing has selected 168 nurse leaders to join fellowship because of their leadership in education, management, and policy and work to improve the health of the nation. WASHINGTON, DC (June 23, 2014)—The American Academy of Nursing has selected 168 nurse leaders for induction as fellows during the Academy's 2014 Transforming Health, Driving Policy Conference on October 18, 2014, in Washington, DC. The Academy is comprised of more than 2,200 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy, and research. The Academy fellows include hospital and government administrators, college deans, and renowned scientific researchers. The Academy fellows, with the addition of this newest class, represent all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 24 countries. "The American Academy of Nursing welcomes this stellar cohort of new fellows," declared Academy president Diana Mason, PhD, RN, FAAN. "As clinicians, researchers, educators, executives, and leaders in all sectors of our society, they are joining the nation's thought leaders in nursing and health care." Selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care and sponsorship by two current Academy fellows. Applicants are reviewed by a panel comprised of elected and appointed fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent the nominee's nursing career has influenced health policies and the health and wellbeing of all. New fellows will be eligible to use the credentials FAAN (fellow of the American Academy of Nursing) after their induction in October.

UFC in Sao Paulo: Wanderlei Silva vs Vitor Belfort
Oh man I love Wandy so much! I kinda wish he retired after Le because it was such an iconic finish; everything the ax murderer was always known for.
Still, part of me still believes he can beat Vitor. I will be backing Wandy here, as I just can't bet against him. The question how much do I wager based on my own love for the guy with my head screaming "nooo don't do it!"? |
All I hear in my head when I see this match up playing out is Joe Rogan screaming "OH HE'S HURT" with Wanderlei dropping. =\
I know it makes me very sad. I will have faith/ Wanderlei looked pretty tight against Le. Maybe Vitor will get caught.
Like MMAnWeed said anythings possible, but I didn't bet on him. Still hope I'm wrong and he fights smart not rushing in there.
Those are some great odds considering Wanderlei stands absolutely no chance.
Had to abandon it because of Belfort's injury, maybe an even better fight can take it's place?

Worth Theatre
306 W. Seventh Street,
Fort Worth,
4 people favorited this theater
Showing 10 comments
My Grandfather, Ray Jones Sr., was the manager of the Worth. When it was demolished my father rescued two chairs. I refinished those chairs and they are now in the media room of my home in Nashville, TN. Above the chairs I placed pictures of the Worth Theater, my Grandfather, and some of the movie stars he had at the theater while their movies were playing.
I do not have any pictures of the interior of the theater but I would very much like to add some to the display. If anyone has any please contact me.

This was the palatial theatre in downtown Fort Worth in the 50's and 60's after the closing of the Majestic. It was the home of the James Bond movies.
Does anyone know where the Rialto Theater in Ft. Worth was located? Any pictures? My great grandmother use to work there.
A postcard view of the Worth and Hollywood theatres in downtown Fort Worth.
I remembered his name as Sam Jones,but I think you are right.I remember the asst. manager was named Songer and I think his first name was Gary.The head of the ushers was Gary Eason….It was a great job for a 15 yr old kid.
Was Ray Jones the manager when you were working at the Worth?
Hello,I was an usher at the Worth Theatre in 1964.I'd like to reminisce with anyone who has memories of the theatre..John
I envy you Tom. Access to all the spaces you mentioned would have been great. I remember the move of the organ being mentioned locally on the news but never heard it used.
Casa Mana is an interesting building itself. Being a Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome it was perfect for theater in the round. I believe it's round stage has since been altered to a more traditional form though. Last time I was there my children were small and we saw a live production of "Little Shop of Horrors".
My cousin was the manager of The Worth in the 50's and 60's. My family from Shreveport use to visit his family about once a year, and it was a great treat to go visit him at the Worth. He would allow us to have free access to the whole place from the projection booth to the stage. I even remember going into the catwalks above the ceiling and in the crawl space under the floor. I once asked if I could play the organ, and he told me that all the wires to it had been cut becasue they were afraid of a fire.
It was a truly grand place. I especially remember the rose windwow mentioned in the comment above. Unfortunately I never took any pictures.
In 1965 as a married young adult I was in Fr. Worth and again visited with him in the theater. Hush,Hush, Sweet Charlotte was playing. By this time, he had had the organ restored and it was played at intermission. So after visiting the theater for many years, I finally got to hear the organ.
That was the last time I saw the cousin and the Worth. I understand that the organ was installed in the Casa Manna Playhouse.
Tom Caldwell
Attended this one in late sixties as a high school student. My buddies and I would drive into downtown which was virtually deserted even then. Unfortunately the theater was the same way. Gorgeous thick red carpet with elaborate designs covered the floors. Opulent sculptured walls were dramatically lit including a cathedral like rose window backlit in the ceiling. Sculpted Egyptian figures larger than life adorned the walls. We always sat in the balcony. Once up the stairs there was a long waiting/smoking area/corridor just outside the seating of the balcony. I remember tvs hung hospital like up and down the space and every weekend while we were there it seems that "Wagon Train" (not old then) was on all the sets. Wish I had taken photographs of this theater. If anybody has any or knows where I could find some it would be greatly appreciated.
We used to go to the Hollywood (in the picture above) as well but neither it nor any other theater in the area could compare with the Worth.
We graduated in 1969 and all went our separate ways. I went off to college and never got the chance to see the Worth again. It was a truly amazing space for movies and I can only imagine what live performances of vaudeville must have been like.
Movie theaters and drive-ins populate my memories and mark milestones of my life. Too bad so many of them no longer exist. Even the most meager of the lot had more character than the multiplexes of today. I suppose however even these will be looked back upon with fondness someday.
Someone dim the house lights and pass the popcorn.

Sighting Details
I was on my front porch with the lights on at around 12:50 A.m. I saw a flash in the sky and it registered in my mind that stars do not flash. I watched it for a few moments longer and realized these lights were not moving at all. Therefore, I knew it could not be a plane. I turned off my porch lights to try and get a better look at the lights. At this time I noticed a very faint disk like shape around the light, and a second smaller light that did not flash. The smaller light was only visible for a brief moment and then it disappeared, but the flashing light could still be seen. The flashing light would change from a white, to a dark red, to a red-orange color. The flashes at times seemed occur sequentially, but would occasionally flash randomly. The fact that the lights never moved at all tells me this could not have been a plane because planes are incapable of remaining still. I knew it could not be a star because stars to not flash. I also do not believe it was a helicopter because it would make sense for a helicopter to remain in the exact same place that long. I got frightened after watching for about ten minutes. I have no idea what this object was or what it could have been. I am a strong believer in extra-terrestrial life, and that seems to be the only explanation to what I saw. |

Re: 09 Mock Draft
Watched the replay of the BYU New Mexico game from back in october....
What do you guys think of WAC RB Harvey Unga ( pronounced un ha) ? Not a fleet foot guy in terms of speed. But he has nifty feet, knows how to press a hole and...he has arms like six inch pipes. What was that guy the Oilers went into San Diego and won with Gifford Nielson subbing in a play off game...Micheal Moriority....Larry Moriority ? BYU spread.... but a guy that big unless he's a total feminine napkin..He ought to be pretty tough. Pacific rim guy.
The Cougars were in great shape at running back - until Manase Tonga was determined to be academically ineligible for the 2008 season. Still, they have enough talent and experience to more than get by, provided they stay clear of nagging injuries that hampered them last year.
Of course, the key returner is sophomore Harvey Unga, the 6-foot-tall, 243-pound conference offensive player of the year candidate who burst onto the scene in a big way in 2007, rushing for 1,227 yards and displaying a mixture of speed, power and shiftiness that made Cougar fans forget about Curtis Brown, the program's all-time leading rusher who graduated after the 2006 season.
Unga, who redshirted in 2006 due to a hip injury, not only had 13 touchdowns on 244 carries, but proved to be a capable receiver, too, making 44 catches for 655 yards and four TDs. The 1,227 rushing yards was a MWC record for a freshman and also a BYU freshman record.
With Tonga out of the lineup, look for senior Fui Vakapuna to re-emerge as a battering ram and a lead blocker for Unga. While battling a hand injury and tender ankles last year, Vakapuna still scored 11 touchdowns. He had 252 rushing yards on 73 carries.
"Everybody understands that the only way we're going to do it is by extremely hard work."

This is my first WnW blush, and holy moly I am so impressed with it! As other reviews have said, be VERY careful with the the amount of blush on your brush because a little goes a long way.
I use elf's stipple brush, very gently dab it on the product, and blend it on my skin, and the color shows. I can't ever imagine running out of this blush because I use SO little product when I do decide to use blush. This is slightly shimmery, NOT glittery. A lot of the shimmer will disappear when you blend, so if you're not looking for a shimmery blush, this is a great buy. The price is wonderful, and so easy on the wallet! It's a worthwhile investment!

LOOOOVE these Wet n Wild blushes. Crazy inexpensive, super pigmented, blends beautifully into the skin, and lasts all day...what more could you want from a blush? This product does have shimmer in it of course, but it isn't glittery and just gives such a nice glow to the face. It's really more of a coral colour than a berry as the name implies, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Okay, so I love Wet'n'Wild products - especially their blushes. I bought the Berry Shimmer shade because I felt daring and it is this beautiful, deep natural red color. It was a bit too dark on my fair skin, but I think if I bought a lighter blush brush and used it rather than the brush it came with then I could make it work. Also, the brush it did come with is really nice ! It is angled and would be a really good brush to use for contouring. Plus I only paid $3 for this at Walmart so you really can't beat the price for the amount and quality you get !

OMG, I am shocked!
This is the most pigmented makeup item, I have EVER own.
This blush is just perfect. I like the colour, and I think it will go with all types of skintones.
As I said this is REALLY pigmented, so be careful when you apply. You need almost nothing on your blush, so please be aware while you apply it, so you don't end up with clown cheeks. :-)

Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher in #834E, Berry Shimmer is a gorgeous deep wine color with gold sparkle. The pigmentation is absolutely phenomenal. It has fantastic color payoff.
The texture of the blush is very soft and easy to blend with a lovely satin finish. I found that as you blend it out, it does tend to lose the sparkle, but not the pigmentation.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine

This is the one Color Icon blush that I avoided for a long time, thinking it would be too intense for me. Seeing as it's less than $5, I decided it wouldn't hurt anything to just try it, and boy, am I happy I did! I'm pretty fair-skinned, but if I don't pile it on (which is sometimes difficult because it's VERY pigmented), this blush is the perfect just-came-in-from-the-cold color on me. It doesn't look clownish at ALL like I suspected. I imagine that since it looks good on me, it will look AMAZING on those with darker skin tones. I would highly recommend trying this for the colder months, or if you just want to try a reddish but not clownish blush for a few dollars :)

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm

Holy pigmentation! I have the WnW blushes in Pearlescent Pink and Mellow Wine and I find them to be a great quality pigmented product, but this color? VERY pigmented! For reference I'm a W3-W4 in L'Oreal True Match. I applied this like any other blush and it was intense! I had to tone it down w/ my Rimmel Stay Matte translucent powder, but upside it lasted over 12 hours! Use a light hand and tap off any excess! I suspect that in the summer when I'm tan I won't have to be so careful, but regardless, don't you want a product where a little goes a long way?! Much better than packing on product just to get a color pay off. The color is very nice, don't fear the shimmer, it comes off more "subtle glow" as opposed to glittery. At only $3, I highly recommend this product for medium to dark skintones.

Love all Color Icon blushes! This one, I was afraid would look too dark & strawberry or cherry-like on my skin. It actually has a lot warmer undertones that I realized & looks beautiful. A rich glow. SUPER pigmented. It blends easily but you will have to learn how to use a light hand. I think due fiber brushes or stippling brushes are better since it picks up way less product than a normal big fluffy blush brush. I find it hard to spread evenly with a normal brush. It does not last on me forever because I have super oily skin & don't wear any foundation or setting powders ever. I bet if you set it with the UD setting sprays, it will last forever :) Oh & the tiny shimmer/sparkles in this blush can't be seen on your skin, I promise.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
For reference I'm an NC35 or Nars Sheer Glow in Stromboli, olive skin tone with yellow undertones.
This blush is creamy,pigmented,shimmery (not disco ball shimmery), buttery, and oh-such a lovely color.
Very pigmented so use a light hand esspecially if you are a more fair skinned lad/lass. This is truly a stand out color to me; I was so afraid of this color in the pan thinking it would make my cheeks look to dark or muddy. This is a true to berry color, with warm undertones. I love wearing this with minimal eye makeup because it warms up the face so beautifully. The price point is great, the pigmentation is fantastic, and application is even and long wearing. Give it a try!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
The jury is still out on this. I thought I would comment on my initial opinion. When I opened it I had a feeling it was going to be very pigmented. I usually don't buy such bright/dark colors. I just dabbed my brush into the pan and it picks up serious color! On my skin it's not very berry-ish. It's more coral. I'll have to wear it more to get a more detail review. I doubt I would repurchase...at least that's what I'm saying now. I am glad I bought it because I was curious about it and it looks nice on my skin but I could tell this is a blush that I will need a light hand with and lots and lots of blending! But that's not neccessarily a bad thing, if the end result makes my cheeks pretty. I'll be back....
UPDATE: I tried this blush again today and decided I really love this color on my skin. To apply it, I ever so lightly tap my brush into the pan and then lightly stipple the blush on my cheeks. Then with another brush I blend it in. This keeps it looking natural and very well blended. I'm so glad I tried this shade. I think it would look the best on brunettes/ black hair and dark eyes. It would probably be too much color for a fair blonde.

How to Make Your Organization More Attractive for an Acquisitionby Ann Cun In January, we wrote about how an organization can stay I-9 compliant before and after the merger and acquisition process. Our network of immigration attorney partners provided us with insight to a step-by-step guide on how to ensure a smooth transition process for a Buyer during an M&A process. Many of our readers were really excited but also wanted to read about a Sellers perspective as well. Todays article offers just that! In todays economy, weve seen many companies restructure and announce layoffs. Some companies are probably considering an outright acquisition as a means of survival (and exit strategy). Youve probably already read about them in the news. (I know I have.) For companies who are preparing for a buyout, getting your Forms I-9 compliant with the law helps to reduce overall liabilities (and hopefully leverage a higher acquisition price). At the very least, an I-9 Compliance Policy will help to lower your risk of fines and penalties from the government. Would-Be Sellers should understand the following when grooming their organizations for a future sale: Reconnoiter the I-9 Landscape – If you dont know what youre up against, youll easily be blindsided. Youll need to conduct some due diligence to understand what the existing I-9 process is to assess areas that need compliance (if any). 1. Counting Papers The exact number of Forms I-9 vis-à-vis the organizations current number of employees are important numbers to keep handy. 2. Identify the Players – How many authorized representatives are completing Forms I-9 on your organizations behalf? What about Section 3 for re-verification purposes? Is it just at headquarters or do you have many individuals at multiple worksite locations? What type of training do these individuals receive? 3. Storage Options If your company has migrated to an electronic I-9 solution that contained the necessary security and record keeping controls that are compliant with government regulations, than this process will be easy. (Not sure? Then read this and this too.) If your organization is still completing Forms I-9 by pen and paper, how are the documents being physically stored? In one central location or at multiple worksites? In a secure location? 4. Purging Rituals How often are Forms I-9 purged (if at all)? By whom? Who manages this process to ensure it is completed? 5. Existing Policy Understanding the existing policy for maintaining Forms I-9 is important to determine if any changes need to be made. Prepare for Battle Pre I-9 audit planning is very important. The internal audit procedures that will follow should evaluate actual Forms I-9 to determine what types of errors have been made. Youll have to consider the following: 6. Who will spearhead this project? Who will assist? Will there be a dedicated team? 7. How many hours will be devoted to this project? Where will the audit take place? How will data be documented? 8. How should outside counsel assist in your situation? Will they simply provide sample policies or craft a strategy that is tailored to your organization? Ready. Set. Charge! The actual internal audit (aka soft audit) will vary depending on your organizations specific situation. The purpose of the audit is to determine error types, error rates and patterns of compliant and non-compliant practices. Because of the complexity of I-9 rules and regulations, this is where most employers bring in attorney experts. They are in the best position to provide updated compliance information as well as offer attorney-client privileged advice. Assessing the Casualties Attorney experts can provide an assessment for potential risks and/or penalties. Any non-compliant patterns of practices that emerge should be actively remedied according to your organizations resources and circumstances. Your counselor can also provide you with the nitty gritty details (who, what, when, where and how) to successfully implement your remediation plan and adopt a compliance culture moving forward. Regrouping for a Peaceful Exit Armed with a report card on your organizations Form I-9 compliance and concrete plans to implement an I-9 compliance strategy, you are now ready to add this piece to your organizations resume. Should a Buyer come knocking on your door, you already know where you stand on I-9 compliance and can happily check that important (and often overlooked) detail off your due diligence list.

this recipe turned out wonderfully (though i baked it @ 425 x 10min then turned it down to 250 x ~2h). i cut the sugar down to 1.5C instead of two (i find most desserts much too sweet), but other than that made no modifications. i have always been somewhat apprehensive regarding lemon-based desserts and i find they often come along with an "eggy" note, but this one did not. it was a hit at christmas!
Spectacular cake. Do NOT use half measures. You would not try to fit a size 9 foot in a size 7 shoe. Do not do this to your cheesecake. Measure your pan, and buy the right pan. I used a 10" square Kaiser Springform with 3" sides (but about .25 groove, so I lost .25"). The recipe yield fit just below the rim. This recipe has height and lightness, both of which would be ruined using half measures. J. Hebb's has great instructions, and I would recommend following those comments. Another commenter stated that other recipes result in as rich a cake but using less ingredients etc, that is like comparing a Jimmy Choo shoe to a Sketcher shoe. To be sure, there is alot of ingredients here; however, it is the amount and combination of these ingredients that give this cheesecake its majesty. J. Hebb's comment about the recipe design is spot on. Half measures, cutting back dishonor that design. This cake as it is, is light and rich without being overpowering. I would cut back by 1T butter in crust. I used mild gingersnaps, and to my taste would feel that stronger ginger in crust would detract. But this is a preference thing. And Lorna Doone cookies would be wonderful.
Have not had a slice yet but my taste testing of what was left on the sides of the pan were delicious. I did follow the recipe to the T which is unusual for me.I did use my own ginger cookies for the crust but I think next time I would add more lemon and maybe bake it in a little larger pan. I used my 9 in. and it is very high but looks great. Just think a larger pan will shorten baking time. Will serve it with a blueberry compote.
Best cheesecake recipe ever. If you use the right size pan then there is not too much batter.I did adextra lemon but that's the only change.
I used only the crust recipe and 6 Tbsp. is way too much melted butter for 2 c.s of crumbs. My suggestion is to start with 1/4 c. of melted butter and add more a tbsp. at a time if necessary.
I used this recipe for a dinner party. The cheesecake was the best I have ever made or even had. I made a homemade lemon curd and covered the top and added cool whip just as decorations with lemon slices. I will use this recipe forever! I did have extra batter but I just made some cheesecake cupcakes out of it.
This cheesecake is delicious! It does seem like too much batter however it will settle when you bake so, pour it all in! Be sure you're using a 10" pan.
Best cheesecake I've had; my guests loved it so much I barely had a piece left over for breakfast!! I used gingersnaps for the crust and that equalled perfection. As to the baking, I followed JohnHebb's baking suggestions and it worked beautifully! I liked QUIRE's comment about using the extra batter for a mousse like dessert. I have some in my freezer. Didn't understand how she "cooked it" and then froze it .... I have some uncooked batter in the freezer. I'd like to make a mouse.... think I'll just thaw it and whip it up and see what happens.

Row over islands and Tokyo's governor
Publication Date : 01-11-2012
Japan's ultra-nationalist Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara, whose plan to buy three of the disputed Seno Islands ignited a smouldering row with China, announced last Thursday he would resign and form a new party with his associates ahead of the snap general election Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is expected to call before the end of this year. His associates are Takeo Hiranuma and his tiny Sunrise Party which holds only five parliamentary seats.
Ishihara may count on his son Nobuteru, secretary-general of the Liberal Democratic Party, to defect with a few lawmakers and is also trying to form a coalition with Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto's newly formed Japan Restoration Party.
Hashimoto, another ultra-nationalist, is expected to get his party into power with a big win at its debut general election. Even with the coalition organised and Hashimoto's victory, Ishihara's new party will not be able win the election and go on to rule the world's third largest economy.
Noda's Democratic Party of Japan, which currently holds 247 seats in the Lower House — a thin majority of seven — is expected to lose scores of seats in the upcoming election and fall from power. The Liberal Democratic Party, which has just elected former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe its president, holds 118 seats in the all-important lower house and is unlikely to win. That means there won't be any party that controls a simple majority of 261 seats in the chamber.
With his approval ratings at the lowest ever, Noda does not want to call the election now. He wishes to stay in office until next spring, but when the Diet convenes its extraordinary session next week, he may face a no-confidence vote from the opposition alliance. If there are a mere 10 defectors, he will be forced to call the election and be ousted.
As no single party is expected to control the majority in the Lower House after the election, Ichiro Ozawa, who left the Democratic Party that he had created to launch the People's Life First-Kizuna, will be needed to organise a coalition. People's Life holds 47 seats and is likely to add a few more,
There is no way to predict who is going to lead Japan's next Cabinet, but one thing is certain: Whoever controls government will turn more nationalistic. Ishihara openly calls for a revision of Japan's Constitution, which currently prohibits war. So will Abe, a grandson of former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi whose last wish was the restoration of Japan's right to conflict. If he wins big, the young ultra-nationalist Hashimoto may be a contender.
And that does not bode well for the current row over the Senkakus, which China calls the Diaoyu Islands and claims as its inherent territory. The eight uninhabited islets are called the Diaoyutai Islands in Taiwan, which also claims sovereignty.
It was Noda who nationalised the Senkakus as a way of foiling Ishihara's purchase plan for which 1.4 billion yen, or US$17.5 million, was raised. It was this nationalisation that touched off a Sino-Japanese dispute. Tensions have continued to mount in the East China Sea, where the People's Liberation Army has conducted sea manoeuvres and the United States together with Japan is scheduled to hold an amphibious war exercise simulating the recapture of an occupied island.
Beijing warned against it last Saturday. Zhang Zhijun, Chinese vice foreign minister, said Beijing is watching very closely what action Japan might take regarding the Diaoyu Islands and their adjacent waters and "the action that Japan might take will shape China's countermeasures."
"We have the confidence and the ability to uphold the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity," he added, pointing out "No amount of foreign threats or pressure will shake the resolve of the Chinese government and people."
But there will be no war between China and Japan, simply because neither of them wants it. Nonetheless, something has to be done to soothe the steadily mounting tensions in the South China Sea. It isn't difficult. It only takes Noda reversing Japan's stance on the Senkakus and admit there exists a sovereignty dispute among Japan, China and Taiwan. The dovish Noda should do so before he is forced to step down.

I have made many recipes from this site and have been generally very pleased, but find myself not rating the recipe, for one reason or another. However, I found myself compelled to rate this one! I made no changes other than to add some smoked sausage links. My husband and I were amazed at how wonderful this was!!! And, in the middle of August in California. You'd expect this to be a winter soup, but it was wonderful at lunch time, (along with a smoked sausage sandwich). I made enough to freeze but did not add the peas or sour cream at freezing (will do so when reheating, think that is part of the secret). Anyway, couldn't be more impressed for such a simple recipe. We had an extremely fresh head of cabbage, think that is partially what made it so good. Make sure you make this one!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Yummy! The house smelled so good while it was cooking we could hardly wait the 20 minutes it took to simmer. We added a cup of chopped, cooked chicken and along with garlic bread it made a quick, hearty and delicious meal.
Add real bacon (Not bacon bits) Add hillshire farm sausage Add can peas (drain)

Huth has only himself to blame - Pulis
28/02/2013 - 11:34:10Back to Sport Home
Stoke manager Tony Pulis feels Robert Huth has "let himself down" with the antics in last Saturday's 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Fulham that have landed the Potters centre-back with a three-game suspension.
Huth will serve the ban having opted not to contest a violent conduct charge brought against him this week by the Football Association.
The incident – missed by match officials at the time – saw the German catch Cottagers defender Philippe Senderos in the face with his forearm.
Asked about the matter this morning, Pulis, who recruited Huth for Stoke from Middlesbrough in 2009, said: "Robert has been fantastic for this football club - a great player and one of the signings we will look back on and say 'what a wonderful signing'.
"But I think he has let himself down more than anything else.
"I don't think Robert will be pleased with it, and it affects the team.
"But everyone makes mistakes, and he will be big enough and strong enough to hold his hand up and say that what he did was wrong."
Either Marc Wilson or Geoff Cameron, both of whom usually play at full-back for Stoke, are set to cover for Huth in the middle in Saturday's home league clash with West Ham.
A specialist centre-back who is no longer an option for the Potters is Matthew Upson after he joined npower Championship side Brighton in January on loan until the end of the season.
Pulis has stressed it was difficult to prevent 33-year-old Upson from moving on, and that Stoke had made attempts to bring in other defenders during the last transfer window.
"If I had had my way, Matty would have left 12 months earlier – there was an opportunity for him to leave (then) and he didn't go," Pulis said.
"Matty wanted to play football – he was absolutely desperate, and is such a great pro.
"I have the greatest respect for Matty – he was fabulous at this football club and he had the opportunity of going to a club that have a chance of getting in the Premier League.
"We tried to get players in and it just didn't work."
Midfielder Steven Nzonzi will be wearing a protective face mask if he features against West Ham after he broke his nose in the Fulham match – the result of a collision with Dimitar Berbatov.
Appearing wound up, Nzonzi subsequently made a gesture to the home fans and was then booked for putting his hand in Bryan Ruiz's face – actions Pulis does not condone, but regards as more understandable than what Huth did.
"The reaction wasn't good, but there was a reason why the reaction wasn't good and that is most probably the difference between Robert and Steven," Pulis said.
"When you get a smack in the face like that, there is going to be a reaction, it is a natural thing. You shouldn't do it, but it is natural.
"But with Robert, I don't know what he was up to, to be honest."
Pulis has also confirmed that striker Michael Owen (thigh) and winger Matthew Etherington, who came off against Fulham due to a back problem, will undergo late fitness tests ahead of Saturday's game, with the latter believed to have the better chance of being involved.

Completely revamped in 2011 with another mile of corners added in for good measure. Still a fast flowing circuit that has retained all the best bits to keep its original fans happy. Better than ever.
Located at a former World War 2 US air base, Snetterton began its motor sport life in the hands of a group of Aston Martin enthusiasts. Among the first additions to the track were two chicanes designed to reduce racing speeds down the huge runways! With two of the longest straights in the country, and a location deep in the countryside, Snetterton is an ideal venue for round-the-clock events, long distance record attempts and speed trials. Newly built pit garages and hospitality suites have further enhanced its spectator appeal, and new for 2011 is the 'Snetterton 300' Circuit which adds another mile and a complex set of new corners.Snetterton is another airfield turned race track but sadly it's never been the nicest place to visit. That's not to say that it's bad circuit - far from it. It just lacks the ambience of some of the UK's premier circuits like Donington, Brands and Silverstone. When you're in the car or on the bike that hardly matters and from a driving/riding point of view Snetterton has plenty of challenges. A fast lap at Snetterton is all about carrying your speed onto the straights even though the fastest corner of all - Coram - doesn't have a much of a straight after it at all, just the very slow Russell Bend.

Whats the betting for another appeal or change of future terms and conditions?.
The finance sector hates losing out on any deal, except perhaps in borrowing public money for their survival. I notice that section 75 of the Credit Consumer Act is under the microscope for 'improvements'. Thje finance houses wanting the better part of the safeguards, with less risk to themselves.

Quite so, So Afraid.
It was a good money spinner for the banks and will have to be made up from somewhere.
I'd rather it was taken from those that go overdrawn and those that take out loans and leave me with 'free' banking on a purely selfish note.

I'm afraid I think you're all being a bit naive.
If the law doesn't suit the banks they'll get it changed.
We live in a capitalist society and money is power.
If you doubt that, ask yourself what would have happened if a large non-banking company, say Tesco, had found itself in the position the banks were in some months ago.
They would have gone to the wall, and the banks would have been first in the queue to pick over the assets.

A small but interesting piece of news recently revealed by Sony is a simple shooter titled Blast Factor, which claims to combine merits of old-school and new-school design to create an addictive and accessible play experience. The game was directly tied into Sony's plans for its online marketplace, and with the nature of the title being relatively simple and focused on dynamic shooting in enclosed areas, it can be seen as a direct analog to the Xbox Live title Geometry Wars. There are certainly a few twists to the formula, however, including the incorporation of the PS3 controller's motion-sensing capability.
The concept for Blast Factor is familiar and simple. It's a bit like the classic game asteroids with a medical sci-fi slant. The player controls what appears to be a spaceship navigating through an enclosed geometric cell to battle blotchy enemies and presumably eliminate disease by blasting it with glowing bullets that ricochet off the cell walls. The cellular theme coincidentally or not corresponds with the PlayStation 3's Cell processor.
From the brief look we had at the game, the ingredients one would expect for this type of title all seem to be in place. The visuals are clean and looked exceptionally sharp on the high-definition displays. Blue and white were heavily favored colors and helped to establish a calm underlying vibe, with the virus-like enemies contrasting with darker reds and oranges to create onscreen chaos. To bring order, you pilot the ship with the left analog stick and use the right stick to direct fire -- a control scheme that works as well here as it's worked anywhere else. Upgrades to your default single shot include the enduring multi-directional shot power-up, and with no button pressing required there's a very smooth and easy feel to the action that's immediately appealing.
The one extra nuance to the control is the game's support of the SIXAXIS controller's tilting functions. If the player gives a sharp tilt to the left or right, a wave will wash from one side of the cell to the other taking enemies along with it while leaving the player's ship unaffected. The maneuver proved to be useful for herding enemies to a side or corner for easy disposal, but a certain type of round, larger enemy required a good sloshing to flip them over and make them vulnerable for a micro-surgical blasting.
It's a bit difficult to tell how this simple tilting action will affect the game when things presumably get really hair in later levels, but it feels like a promising mechanic at this point. At the same time, it's clear that the effect could have been accomplished with traditional button presses, particularly since you can only tilt left or right and not vertically or to a particular angle. Would mapping the swishes to shoulder buttons be as fun though?

North Korean leader guides flight training against South Korea-US air drill
SEOUL (THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has guided a flight training of its air force unit, the North's state media reported on Tuesday, seen in response to the ongoing Seoul-Washington air exercises.
During his visit to the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force Unit 188 on Monday, Mr Kim gave an order to start the training "to defend the country", the North's Korean Central News Agency said in an English dispatch, Yonhap reported.
Watching the flying corps' performance "to mercilessly blow up the citadel of enemies and wipe out the enemies to the last one," Mr Kim expressed satisfaction with the "successful" training, according to the KCNA.
"An air battle allows no moment's delay," Mr Kim said, instructing the unit "to intensify the training to fully prepare the airpersons as death-defying corps and able combat pilots capable of skillfully fighting a modern warfare," the media reported.

Gerald...in your contract they have different royalty rates for different formats. There can be a range - for instance as Kevin pointed out some mass market paperbook (MMP) contracts he's heard of are 6%. To be honest I thought the contract I received was pretty "industry standard" and I still do think it is. One thing to keep in mind whenever you are looking at royalties is whether the percentage is based on cover price (list price or gross) or net (and how is net calculated). FWIW here are the rates in my contract:
hardcover (retail price):
10% first 5,000
12.5% next 5,000
15% all copies after that
Trade paperback (retail price)
7.5% (no escallation)
Mass Market Paperback (retail price)
8% for first 150,000
10% all above that
Audio books (net sales)
10% of CD versions
25% digital downloads
ebooks (net sales)
There are other numbers - slightly different values for UK, Large Print, etc but the above cover the "bulk" of the royalties

The Basics of Facilities Management
Seminar Summary:
Attend this seminar and learn practical techniques for safeguarding the care and maintenance of your facility. (see full course description)
View dates/locations for this event on FindaSeminar.com then register online or call (800) 349-1935
Training Course Syllabus:
If you're lucky, it was someone who understood that people and buildings don't automatically work well together.
Shopping centers … corporate headquarters … factories … apartment complexes. All depend on facilities managers — like you — to make them user-friendly.
If you earned a degree in facilities management, you have a head start on how to successfully mix people and property. If you've inherited the position through a series of promotions or have taken on the duties of facilities management in addition to your regular responsibilities, you've probably learned what to do through on-the-job experience.
However, the facility became "your baby," now you have your hands full. You're in charge of a facility worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — maybe even millions. And it's up to you to ensure your facility is run efficiently … is cost-effective … and works for — not against — its users.
How can you be sure you don't make a costly mistake? Attend this seminar and learn practical techniques for safeguarding the care and maintenance of your facility. The very next day on the job, you'll feel more confident about your decisions, more in tune with what users need and more aware of exactly how to better manage the huge responsibility you have.
Command The Respect You Need
Isn't it great when everybody goes home? Your facility looks and feels different — it's almost serene.
At times like this, you can really appreciate its beauty. The hallways look expansive … the lighting soft and caressing … everything's clean and tidy.
Come tomorrow when "the bodies" return, it's another story. You have to ride herd over people who don't see — or don't care about — your facility like you do.
Most people aren't intentionally disrespectful. They're usually just too busy going about their business to pay attention to how they close the doors … where they throw their cigarette butts … what equipment they leave running.
How can you hope to successfully integrate people with your facility? Come to this seminar and find out. You'll learn proven strategies for better communicating with users, solving the problems that contribute to user-abuse and coping with architectural features you wish you could change — but can't.
You won't be able to magically solve all your headaches, but you will return to work knowing how to conquer dozens of "what if" scenarios that all facilities managers encounter, at one time or another.
We Guarantee It
If you want to hear technical theories expounded by some stuffy expert who talks in scientific lingo, this seminar is not for you.
But if you want to learn practical techniques that have proven indispensable for facilities managers across the country, enroll today. We guarantee you will discover skills you can use to better manage your facility's operations, or we'll return your entire registration fee. You have our promise in writing.
Expertly Direct General Operations
Extend Your Facility's Life
Run a Tighter Ship
Better Protect Physical Property
Who Should Attend?
Class Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM; Check-in begins at 8:30 AM

Steelcase Seems To Be Discontinuing Revest=>
Steelcase Inc. will discontinue its 13-year-old Revest operations, according to documents filed in a federal lawsuit. (The company has not formally announced it will close Revest, and a spokesman said a final decision on Revest's future has not been made.) The line of inexpensive, remanufactured furniture accounts for 5-15% of sales for Steelcase dealers across the country, many of whom were surprised to hear news of its demise. Minneapolis-based Omni Remanufacturing Inc., which according to court documents would lose about $23 million a year if Steelcase eliminates Revest, has filed a lawsuit claiming Steelcase
"...has recently sought to cannibalize the market built up by Revest Midwest by offering its new platform line of products, including its new 'Kick' line as a replacement for the 'Revest' line." Steelcase has filed a U.S. District Court complaint to force Omni to negotiate the issue. Steelcase spokesman Allan Smith says a transition plan is in place to provide "appropriate product" replacements for the Revest line, should the company decide to eliminate it. "Our goal is not to disrupt [the business of] our customers or our dealers," he said. The apparent move to eliminate Revest follows the trend of large office-furniture makers leaving the refurbishing market.

- "Farm Bill Ideas Compared," by Daniel Looker. "Carl Zulauf, the Ohio State University economist who helped design the ACRE program in the 2008 Farm Bill, has put together a comparison of 10 of the top farm bill ideas, including those from farm and commodity groups and members of Congress."
- "Some States Adding Assets to Food Stamp Qualification," by John Wisely. "How rich is too rich for food stamps? The answer depends on where you live."
- "Famine Crisis Remains Dire in Horn of Africa," (BBC). "Humanitarian officials say the scale of the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is still huge three months after famine was declared in the region."
- "Obama is in Real Trouble with Latinos," Stewart J. Lawrence. "The latest Gallup poll has Obama's approval rating among Hispanics down to 48%, the lowest of his presidency, and down from 60% in January of this year."
- "More Than 20 Percent of U.S. Kids in Poverty," UPI. "Nearly 22 percent of U.S. children live in poverty, compared with 14 percent of the total population, researchers at the University of New Hampshire say."

Price on Request
A solo exhibition of new work, Boundless, by Joan Watts will open at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art on May 16 and extend through June 21. An Opening Reception with the artist will be held on Friday, May 16 from 5-7 p.m. The gallery is located in the Railyard Arts District at 554 South Guadalupe Street. Boundless: without limits, infinite. The title of this exhibition of new work by Joan Watts speaks directly to the experience of the viewer and to the nature of these paintings. It's not that these works are literally uncontained, without borders: There is the regular square or diamond format of the paintings themselves; the overlapping yet distinct waves of color; the perfect curve of the partial white circle which appears in every piece. Nevertheless, Boundless, is a perfect designation for the way in which these paintings take the viewer beyond, how they suggest that there is more to them than what appears at first sight. What makes these paintings breathe? What makes them unfold before the viewer? One of the keys may be the gradual shift in color value in Watt's paintings, from dark to light, black to white, which has been a hallmark of her work for many years. The slow modulation of tone across the spectrum (from say, the darkest of midnight blue-black to palest shell-blue to pristine white) has the effect of opening up the canvas, creating a sensation of depth and volume into which the viewer is immersed. In the earlier explorations, white-tints moved up the canvas evenly in a careful and seamless movement in which all presence of the artist's hand was meticulously erased in a process of continual application and wiping away of the paint. The process created an amorphous landscape of light and dark. In more recent series, Watts added a partial circle along one edge of the canvas, all white, which seemed to push into the color, pressing it back toward the opposing edge of the canvas. The circle determined the shape of the deepening color as it flowed across or down the canvas and it added a focal point to the pieces. But rather than this focus tethering the viewer, the suggestiveness of the unfinished circle added a sense of space and dimension, of potential—the hint of more beyond. The current work continues to utilize this tantalizing sliver of circle and the exploration of color saturation shifting from light to dark; however, these new works have changed dramatically. Unlike the previous works where all trace of the artist's hand had been wiped away, the pieces in Boundless are painterly. The viewer is allowed to see the undulating lines of the paint as it was applied. Rather than a seamless shift, the works in Boundless are complexified by the inclusion of interwoven waves of color. Warm tones of earth: sienna, sepia, burnt umber, and rust weave, overlap, and then open up into muted striated creams which give way to the thick and wavy white of the incomplete circle. The waves do not directly refer to anything specific, although as Watts says, "Everything is a particle and a wave." However, the gentle roll of a wave-line is intensely suggestive, as essential and basic a form as the square or circle. If in the cooler works (blue, green, purple) these waves of color suggest water, in the warmer pieces (where the colors are earth, orange, rust) these waves feel more like the ancient geological strata of canyon walls or the dramatic roiling of smoke from a forest fire. The coiling lines are not planned, but spontaneous. Watts' process involves a basic set of parameters: the format (size and shape of the canvas), the orientation of the partial circle which is drawn in with an old drafting compass, and the choice of warm or cool color. After these choices are made the painting emerges organically. Watts says, "There is a sense of allowing … Why is only just emerging—I didn't ask myself why. I am freer than I ever have been in my life." This idea of allowing and spontaneity may also be a clue to understanding the boundless quality of these works. Watts says: "The process begins, moves spontaneously, and usually ends rather suddenly when it has somehow arrived. It seems the spontaneity of this work has evolved out of long practice both physical and meditative." A relationship to the Japanese meditative practices of Shodō (calligraphy) and Ensō (circle drawing) can be drawn, in which the practitioner both meditates and practices their art for years in order to develop the skill to successfully create one spontaneous form in a matter of a few seconds. The goal is to find the place where thought and intent disappear into seamless act, where body and mind, paint and canvas, hand and form become one. It seems that by bringing the elements of light and dark, space and form, hand and eye together, the paintings in Watts' Boundless elicit a visceral response in the viewer, a multifaceted experience which transcends each disparate element to create something beyond them all.

Full-volume opera singers were up against country crooners and teenage talent at West Edmonton Mall on Saturday, in a competition that makes NBC's The Voice look tame. The competition was much more challenging than the TV version because everyone was required to sing the same well-known tune, O Canada, in hopes of impressing three judges from the Edmonton Eskimos football team.
It's hard to imagine that any country that was "discovered" and then colonized back in 1640 could somehow find itself falling off the beaten track, but...
It's an island that gave the world shorts, a triangle and a national drink locals call a rum sizzle.

Not a good way to run a business. I was actually starting to like hockey and even saw a few Sharks games but this pisses me off because it's millionaires arguing with millionaires about millions. It's not like these guys are striking over benefits for their family, or a few bucks an hour so they can afford to buy a 3 bedroom house
not a big follower of hockey (hometown doesnt have a pro team: Seattle)... but Bettman is being marked a clown, well deserved. Owners will come out of this nicely though.

Owners, Players, up here in Canada we'd linch 'em all if we could!
They're both to blame, and both should be force fed the re-runs of 'Home Alone' 1-8, that we're being forcefed here instead of Saturday night hockey.

Hmm, well since you don't have hockey to instill into your son, there's always the fine art of beer drinking to be taught. After all, isn't that all we as Canadians do, is drink beer and watch hockey?

Running shoes.
Like (0)
So I am gettin a new pair of running shoes and I would like to hear your opinion. The two shoes are Nike Air max 2011 + and Nike LunarGlide 3. The problem is that with my previous air sole shoes, because in school where I sometimes wear them and in public places I stepped on a needle and the left shoe lost the air inside the sole, so with other words the shoes are for the trash can. So what is the best for going to school and public places AND running outdoors. What I need is comfort, cushion to absorb when I run and durability. The Shoe and the colour I like is below. Thanks!
Both shoes you picked were great selections. But i believe the top of the line running shoes are either the Nike Air Agitate 2.0( The red shoe), or the Nike Reax(The black adn yellow shoes). These have great grip and are super light.they also look sick. ive attached pics of both of them!
Hope this helped!
I would definitely recommend the Nike Air Max 2011+. For these reasons:
- extremely comfortable; feels like running on cushions.
- stylish
- great shoes to run in (i have them so i know) because they take pressure off my calfs and shins. While running in the Lunerglides, my shins and calfs were killing because of too much pressure.
- very durable
If you are just careful where you step, you will be perfectly fine with these shoes. I promise you will be happy you bought them, you will not be disappointed.
Hope this helps!

For a city that was listed as the second cleanest in the country after Chandigarh in a survey conducted by the Union Ministry of Urban Development, here is something more to chew and ponder over.
Mysore has been given a high rating in the "AlphaWise City Vibrancy Index: A Guide to India's Urbanisation" by Morgan Stanley India.
Sheela Rathi and Ridham Desai of Morgan Stanley India, who are the authors of the study, pointed out that the AlphaWise City Vibrancy Index is a measure of the drivers of urbanisation and incorporates key ingredients such as infrastructure, job opportunities, modern consumer services and the city's ability to mobilise savings.
The vibrancy index reveals the relative "vibrancy"/urbanisation levels of 200 cities and towns of India and could be used to ascertain the prospects for real estate prices.
"But the biggest surprise of the launch product", according to Sheela Rathi and Ridham Desai, is that Mysore is ranked number two among India's 50 cities.
The vibrancy report pointed out that urbanisation was a big driver of sector trades and measuring the levels of drives and rate of change in urbanisation is important from this perspective.
